[Bug 1829380] Re: race condition between vhost_net_stop and CHR_EVENT_CLOSED on shutdown crashes qemu (fix regression)

[Dan Streetman]

With qemu version 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.37, I rebooted a guest with a
normal network interface, and after the 2nd reboot it lost networking.
Then upgraded to 1:2.5+dfsg-5ubuntu10.40, stopped and started guest, and
rebooted it 10 times without any networking problems.

Bug description:
  [impact]

  this bug is to track re-uploading the fix for bug 1823458 plus a patch
  to fix a regression it introduced.

  instead of copying the details from bug 1823458, please see that bug
  for impact and testcase.

  [test case]

  see bug 1823458 for the original bug test case

  for the regression test case from bug 1829245, rebooting the guest
  will result in the guest being unable to use the interface (possibly a
  couple reboots are needed to reproduce if the interface still works
  after the first reboot).

  [regression potential]

  see bug 1823458

  additionally, the regression from the last fix is in bug 1829245.

  the change is in code where this still has the regression potential of
  causing guest networking to fail.
